This weekend my mother had come over for a visit as well as to get away from the hurricane Gustav. Her and I were just talking about random things and then I was telling her of one of my friends and I was telling her about how she likes to visit other friends and not me, but I am always visiting her (well she always said that she was busy. But made time for these other friends.) And well she is always competing with me.I try to get insight from my mother because I know she means well in everything. So, she tells me well maybe its time to let it go, cause she sees her competing along with me and she tells me that isn't a good friendship. She said maybe it was meant for a season for you guys to be friends and well now you guys are going in different directions. So I'm thinking of ending our friendship and well moving on. Is this a good idea. My friend and I have been friends since we were 5 and we are now 26. What would you do? Have you been in this situation or had to let go of a friend and for what reason?

...Does your friend have allergies? Maybe she is avoiding your house because she is allergic to something there. I have a friend whose house just makes me sneeze the whole time I am there.
...Your mother is probably right. Friends don't treat each other like that. My gf knows why I don't come over.
...Maybe some distance will improve how she feels about you.
...Good luck with what you decide to do. Peace be with you. =(^;^)= Della

as far as i know she doesn't have any allergies but i'm sure she would have said something if that was the case. its really hard to cut off a friendship though with someone you've known for so long. but i think it will be for the best.

I had to let a friend go but for a different reason. My friend and I were real good friends we did everything together from going out clubbing to going to church together, well my friend got married and her husband did not want her to have anything to do with any of her old friends, one day I was out shopping by myself and her husband was in the store I was in and he approached me, I have been knowing both of them a long time, I thought he was just speaking, well he made a pass at me. I never told her this, I just put an end to the friendship then, (I wasn't seeing her that much anyway) why wouldn't he want her to be my friend but he wanted to come see me. I still haven't figured that out I just put distance between our friendship..I didn't want to be the cause of problems with in their marriage.
